Advisor of city ship’s men’s volleyball team arrested for violence against students

He grabbed the hair of his head and dragged him around, and repeatedly …… volleyballed him in the face from close range.

A security camera in the gymnasium captured the horrific corporal punishment.

On February 27, the Funabashi Police Station of the Chiba Prefectural Police arrested a suspect, Toshihiro Ishii, 60, who lives in Sakura City in the same prefecture, on suspicion of assault. Ishii is the advisor and coach of the boys’ volleyball team at Funabashi Municipal High School (“Ichifune”), and has been with the school for 35 years since April 1988.

He has been with the school for 35 years since April 1988. The soccer team has won the national high school championship nine times and the national high school championship five times. The baseball team has participated in the Koshien Tournament eight times in spring and summer. The other clubs have also achieved brilliant results, such as winning the Kanto tournament many times.

Take off your clothes!”

The men’s volleyball team also won the national championship (Spring High School Volleyball) in 1990. In the prefectural tournament, the team has been ranked first 49 times. What kind of assault trouble did the advisor of such a powerful school get into?

The incident occurred at around 6:30 in the evening of November 18, 2010. A male student made a mistake during practice, and the suspect became furious. He stripped off his top half and told him to take off his clothes. and stripped him naked, grabbed him by the hair, and dragged him around on the gymnasium floor. He then repeatedly threw a volleyball at the student’s face. A club member reported the incident to the police and the incident was discovered. The police have not revealed whether the suspect Ishii is guilty or not.

On the day the Ishii suspect was arrested, the city ship held a press conference. Principal Nobuhiko Tsuda apologized on behalf of the school. At the press conference, he explained the incident as follows.

I think all the teachers had a common understanding that corporal punishment is not appropriate in this day and age. Ishii (the suspect) was aware that the times have changed and that the temperament of students has also changed. He told the students and their parents that he could no longer forcefully instruct them.

According to the school, there have been no reports of violence against Ishii by students or parents.

According to the school’s alumni, Ishii, who has been coaching for more than 30 years, was an absolute force to be reckoned with in the men’s volleyball team. We have heard that he used to yell at students who made mistakes and sometimes raise his hand to them. It is hard to believe that he suddenly became so violent this time. The police are investigating to see if corporal punishment was routinely used.

The city ship intends to proceed with interviews with the students and others to ascertain the facts.
